II will soon be time to hold mass con-
vention of the temperance men and women
of Van Buren, county for the purpose of or
ganizing and taking the necessary steps to
call a special election on the question of
"whiskey or no whiskey" Immediately after
the going into effect of the new local option
law 1t will not be advisable to procure
names to petition for such election until
after the law shall become operative, as it is
very doubtful if petition signed before such
date would be of any legal validity, but all
preliminary work should be done before that
time and the county should be thoroughly
organized by the appointment of a county
committee and township committees, with
subcommittee in every school district the
members of which should be supplied with
the necessary blank petitions. 1t need not
take more than three days to procure the
signatures of 800 Van Buren, county voters,
which are all that are needed TO set the cleo
ton machinery in motion. Let Van Buren,
county maintain her record by being among
the first, if not the very first, to adopt county
prohibition so that from and after the first
day of May 1888, the saloon within its Dor
ders shall be among the institutions of the
past. We have no fears of the result of such
election. In Van Buren, county, at least
"the saloon must CO. and that at the very
earliest opportunity.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-07-20

A SHORT time since, Sergeant CLARK. a
soldier at Fort Wayne, Michigan, shot and
killed ALBERT STONE, a military prisoner who
had been sentenced 10 Imprisonment and
who was attempting to escape. CLARK has
been arrested and will be tried by the civil
authorities on charge of murder. 1t was
thought at first that lie was not subject to
the civil law and that he could only be tried.
If tried at all, by military court, but inves-
tigation of the law and the precedents served
to convince the civil authorities that they
had jurisdiction over the offender. 1t is the
FIRST time the question was ever raised in
Michigan and it is to be hoped that the de-
cision may be in favor of the civil
courts which, for the preservation of the lib
critics of the people, should always, in time
of peace, be held superior to the military au-
thorities which, from the very nature of the
case. must ever be despotic in character.
II the partial failure of the Michigan
wheat crop and the continuation of present
unremunerative prices for that cereal shall
serve 10 convince Michigan farmers that
there is better kind of husbandry than
wearing out their land TO raise a crop that
does not pay the cost of production, the re-
suit will be beneficial. Let our agriculturists
give more attention to stock raising in all its
various departments and leave to the vast
wheat regions of California and the great
northwest the business of furnishing bread
for the producing portion of our popu-
lation and the result will be better for all
parties. There can be no doubt that the day
has gone by when Michigan farmers can af-
ford to make wheat raising their principal
occupation. If our state did not produce
bushel of wheat nor barrel of -four for ex-
portation, the business of agriculture within
ITS borders might be made far more profta-
ble than under the present system.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-07-20

The features of the league ball games dur
ing the past week have been the unexpectedly
strong playing of the Washingtons and the
equally unexpected weak playing of the De
troits. The latter club still maintains a
slight lead with Chicago a close second. The
admirers of the so-called Detroit sluggers be-
gin to think they can't play ball little bit.
Appearances indicate that the history of last
year, when Detroit took the lead during the
first half of the season and dropped it to
Chicago in the latter half, will be repeated
and that Ansons babes will retain the cham
pionship.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-07-20

GREAT excitement exists in the Upper Pen
insula, over the recently discovered gold
mines near Ishpeming. They are said to be
immensely rich. If half that is reported is
true, they will add greatly to the wealth and
prosperity of the people of that portion of
our state, and will lead to further explora-
ton and, possibly, to additional finds of the
same kind. Michigan made splendid trade
when long years ago, she snapped that strip
of Maumee swamp for the magnificent, but,
at that time, wholly undeveloped mineral
region along the south shore of Lake Super
ior

The Grand Army is Cursed

The grand army of the republic is thor
oughly non political organization, but be-
cause its leading men and its membership
generally, kicked against being used as a cats
paw by designing democratic politicians for
the express purpose of advancing the future
political aspirations of Mr.. Cleveland in par
ticular and the democratic party in general,
the democratic press of the country is filed
with denuncations of the honored and trusted
leaders of the order from one end of the
country to the other. The following extract
from the Free Press and Courier, the organ
of Van Buren, county democracy and fusion
the careful perusal of the "boys in blue" few
of whom will be deceived as TO the real ami
mus of the article 10y the taffy and fiattery
contained in the quoted sentiment that the
order is an " organization founded upon pa
triotic IDEAS etc. Neither GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. the democratic party, as party, nor
the democratic press has a superabundance
of love for the grand army of the republic:
The president has Withdrawn his accept
ance Of the invitation TO attend the G., A. X.
encampment at st. Louis in September. The
reasons he assigns in his letter to the mayor
of st. Louis are looked upon generally as
sufficient for his decision. While he has no
fear of the threats of personal violence and
insult to which he would be subjected in
case he made the trip, and expresses great
reluctance at not being able to attend the
meeting, he feels that the Office of the presi-
dent of the United States, of which he is
representative would De subjected to indig-
mites for which he alone is responsible and
would be held accountable by the people.
While we endorse what he says of the q. A.
